He did break down and tell his family. "I remember at the dinner table with great excitement explaining to my wife, Susan, and my daughter, Bethany, what it was we were doing," says Zare. And then he experienced something many parents can relate to when talking to their kids.

"Bethany looked at me and said, 'pass the ketchup.' So, not everybody was as excited as I was," he says.

In before bacteria.

Seeing he works for NASA his daughter can't be that stupid, can she?
Still I'm jealous at her she can hear all his secrets at dinner table haha

That story and quote was from a different scientist, about a different discovery.

After they discovered that glass eating bacteria (carbon eating) below the ocean in the rock thats respires anaerobically, a few people have been intrested to see what bacteria could thrive on a plant with no "earth" atmosphere or lack of oxygen

Ironicaly the best thing that they could find there would be a precious metal or Oil that would surely drive the space exploration in such a force that we as a species would advance in 5 years what would take 50+ if only NASA would go there...

But i'm beting on methane traces or some compound that undeniably tells that water was present there.

Best case scenario probably a bacteria that would take years to properly study...

Except there are articles that detail how all but one flag are still upright. How would they know?

The LROC camera on Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter made that possible, not telescopes. If we had 100-meter or larger telescopes on Earth, it'd be a different story... but that's at least ten times the size of any optical aperture on the planet right now.

A thread about how hard it is being a white dude is not really a reasonable topic.

The Apollo program delivered six manned lunar landings and three circumlunar flights (including Apollo 13). I submit that if any of this seems questionable to you, you're doing it wrong.

The "one" referring to the first televised one with Armstrong that everyone talks about. Of course, they went in the 70's afterwards with landings. After they were there "first". Point is they went up there with a toaster oven CPU and they dont even bother to go up today, its useless. Not going to be going to mars for along time let alone mine shit from it.

It's probably not him....

Oh well, hope they have found proof that life existed on Mars, that would be amazing to discover I also hope if they find out they didn't find anything, they let us know what they thought they had found.
